Robin - Erithacus rubecula

The Robin - Erithacus rubecula


Arguably, the UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas!

Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown.

Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders.

This Robin photo was taken at Warnham Nature Reserve in December 2010



The Robin on the right and below - photos were taken in the Summer of 2010 at Pulborough Brooks RSPB site.
